Since the two sides still agreed, Liu Bei sent a team of cavalry to the center of the battlefield to clean up the battlefield, collect the corpses of his own soldiers, and at the same time instructed them to pay attention to the enemy soldiers when they encountered, but not to move.

After that, the whole army retreated two miles, and then asked Lu Bu's deputy Mu Zepal to lead a team of soldiers to start building barracks, and sent scouts to the Wei Chi Zhan camp to investigate.

Wei Chizhan received Liu Bei's reply, and he also breathed a sigh of relief, although he still had 10,000 soldiers and horses, but the soldiers were tired, and they were even more demoralized after losing two formations in a row. After receiving Liu Bei's reply, Wei Chizhan arranged for people to camp on the spot, and at the same time sent scouts to keep an eye on the movements of Liu Bei's army to prevent Liu Bei's army from attacking the camp. As for the retreat, Wei Chizhan didn't think about it, both sides are cavalry, if the news of the retreat is detected by the other party, and the tail is pursued, then he himself will have no power to fight back!

…………………………………………………………

Just when everyone thought that there would be no more fighting tonight, Liu Bei's military tent ushered in a scout.

"My lord, the military division sent a certain to inform the lord that the current military division has led General Zhang's Black Flag Army ten miles behind the enemy's army, and the military division means to launch an attack on the camp at night and defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop."

"That's good, only the Black Flag Army has arrived? Where is the Leopard Taojun located? ”

"My lord, the scouts of the Leopard Tao Army have already contacted the military division, and the military division ordered General Xu to lead the army to camp outside Xicheng, and rob and kill the scouts back and forth in Khotan, cutting off the connection between Xicheng and Wei Chizhan's army."

"I see, then how can the Black Flag Army and the Leopard Tao Army get behind the Wei Chi Zhan army." Liu Bei asked again.

"My lord, the military division divided the troops when there was still a hundred miles away from Khotan, and the military division personally led the Black Flag Army to detour to the north road, day and night, and arrived fifty miles outside the city of Xicheng to camp, General Xu led the Leopard Tao army to detour the south road to arrive outside the city of Xicheng! And sent scouts to ambush outside the western city, and when they found that Wei Chizhan's army was out of the city, he led the army to attack. ”

"Wonderful, wonderful! Okay, you and tell the military advisor that Yin Shi launched an attack very much, and led the army to attack the camp with the captain Chi Zhan's military camp a certain time, and the battle was decided, and he tried to capture the lieutenant Chi Zhan alive! ”

The scout is commanded to leave!

…………………………………………………………

After that, except for the sentry, the rest of the army rested, got up at two o'clock for breakfast, and then launched an attack after a few o'clock!

When the scouts arrived at Jia Xu's camp, it was almost ugly, and Jia Xu received Liu Bei's instructions, so he was anxious to Zhang Ren and began to mobilize his soldiers.

Zhang Ren left a battalion in the rear to protect Jia Xu, and he personally led the army to attack the camp of Wei Chizhan.

Wei Chizhan did not discover Zhang Ren's army until Zhang Renjun was still a mile away from the camp.

"Report ......, General, we have found an army of about 5,000 men to the west. And a mile behind our camp! ”

"What? Liu Bei is treacherous in my middle, why is Liu Bei's camp in the east moving? Wei Chizhan asked eagerly!

"No change yet."

"Come, quickly notify the soldiers of each battalion to prepare to meet the enemy, and General Wu will lead two thousand cavalry to guard against Liu Bei's army in the east!"

And so the whole camp began to be noisy!

And when Wei Chizhan had just received the news, Liu Bei's battalion was already ready to go. Wait until the hour comes. Liu Bei led the army to attack the camp of Wei Chi Zhan!

About half a tea time, Zhang Ren led the Black Flag Army into the camp of Wei Chi Zhan, poor Wei Chi Zhan has been guarding against Liu Bei in the east, but not in the west! Now that the enemy is attacking from the west, Wei Chi is not prepared at all. What's even more pitiful is that Zhang Ren entered the camp, and Wei Chizhan had just organized the personal guard army of the king of Khotan, and was surrounded by Zhang Ren's army before he set off before he got on the horse, and at this time Liu Bei was already engaged with the troops in the east. said that it was a battle, but it was just a massacre by Liu Beijun's side.

Wei Chi Zhan saw that he was surrounded, and there was no hope of breaking through, more importantly, Wei Chi Zhan's hope of this battle in Khotan was cut off with his own hands, and the defeat of his 15,000 cavalry would lead to no more soldiers available in Khotan, except for the 5,000 guards on the city wall, no more soldiers could be transferred, at most it was to recruit a part of the young and strong to defend the city!

Thinking of this, Wei Chi Zhan raised his war knife and wanted to swing the knife to kill himself, but Zhang Ren quickly picked off Wei Chi Zhan's war knife with one shot, and the moment Wei Chi Zhan's war knife landed, all the injured blades of the guards slowly fell to the ground, as if they were infected, and the blades of the soldiers of Khotan fell to the ground one by one from the inside and outside!

With Liu Beijun shouting the slogan: "Put down your arms, surrender and don't kill", the first and only battle between Liu Bei and Khotanese was over.

According to post-war statistics, in this battle, 8,000 enemy soldiers were captured, 10,000 horses, six enemy generals, and no food and grass were counted! There were more than 1,000 dead and wounded on their own side, of which only more than 200 were killed or seriously injured, and the remaining 800 people were only slightly injured!

So in the whole night of the battle, Liu Bei's army lost more than 2,000 people, six or seven hundred seriously wounded, and about 1,000 lightly wounded. What a big win!

The battle was over, and the rest was a day, and the next day Liu Bei led the Hundred Battle Army to guard Wei Chi Zhan and other generals and prisoners, and walked slowly behind, while he took Jia Xu to lead Zhang Ren's Black Flag Army all the way west to join Xu Huang's Leopard Tao Army! Prepare for the siege of Khotan.

After uniting with Xu Huang's army, Liu Beitong's army continued westward and re-encamped under the western city!

………………………………………………………

At this time, the palace of the king of Khotan.

"Your Majesty, there are about 10,000 troops encamped outside the city, including about 5,000 sword and shield soldiers and about 5,000 cavalry! And the big banner in the army is written with the character Liu. ”

"What? Liu Bei is back again? What about Wei Chi Zhan? What about the 15,000 cavalry led by Wei Chi Zhan? Is there a battle report of the captain's late battle? Wei Chiming said in a panic.

In the hall, the crowd was silent, and the officials didn't know what happened to Wei Chizhan, and all the scouts released by Wei Chizhan had been killed by Xu Huang.

At this time, the city gate guard sent someone to report: "Your Majesty, a letter has been sent from the army outside the city, saying that it is to be handed over to the king. ”

"Quick, bring it in!"

Wei Chiming grabbed the letter: "The Western Regions Protector Liu Bei hereby informs His Excellency Wei Chiming, the monarch of Khotan, that the army of the Eastern Expedition of the Kingdom of Ru has been defeated by me, capturing more than 8,000 horsemen, beheading 7,000, and capturing five generals, including the general Wei Chi Zhan. If you wish, you can inspect your troops on the eastern wall of the West City. At the same time, my Han Dynasty governs the country with Confucianism, and I don't want to kill the evil in vain, so I will give Your Excellency another chance, and I want you to surrender to my Han Dynasty, or when the city is broken, the Ruwei Chi clan will be extinct in this world, don't try to escape, and the West City will be surrounded by our legions. The Great Protector of the Western Regions - Liu Bei"

As soon as he threw away the letter, Wei Chiming jumped like thunder and scolded, "Damn Wei Chi Zhan, how did he command the army, 15,000 soldiers couldn't beat Liu Bei's 6,000 soldiers and horses, and they were captured alive." I'm mad at me. ”

Hajip, the prime minister of Khotan, bent down and picked up the letter on the ground, skimmed it roughly, and said: "Your Majesty, maybe it is Liu Bei's divisive plan, since Liu Bei invited us to go to the east city wall to have a look, why not wait for us to go and see, and then make plans after confirmation!" ”

After listening to the Prime Minister's words, Wei Chiming nodded helplessly and agreed, and then led the ministers to walk outside the palace!

…………………………………………………………

At this time, Liu Bei's camp, a moment ago, Lu Bu pressed the captives and just arrived at the camp, Wei Chizhan sent someone to report, saying that there was something important to find Liu Bei, so that Liu Bei gave up the original plan to summon Yan Liang, who had just arrived from Shanshan County, and Shanshan Guojun Pu Lixuan was temporarily put on hold, so Liu Bei met Wei Chizhan first.

As soon as Wei Chizhan arrived at Liu Bei's camp, he knelt down on his knees in front of Liu Bei: "The Khotanese will be willing to surrender to the protector of the Western Regions." ”

"Oh, will you surrender to me? As far as I know, when I led my troops outside Xicheng that day, you were the most advocative of fighting me, right? Liu Bei asked expressionlessly.

"Yes, but I was still the main force in Khotan that day, and I had the strength to fight, why didn't I fight with you? However, after this battle, the sin will find that I am far away from the Han Dynasty in Khotan, and I am also far away from the capital, so Gu hereby surrenders. ”

"You want to surrender, but I dare not use it." Liu Bei hesitated.

"Daduhu, I am willing to go and persuade my cousin to submit to Daduhu."

"Is that true?"

"Of course, I just don't know if most of the protectors dare to let me go back!"

"Why don't you dare, when your cousin appears on the city wall later, I will send you back to the city!"
